Are we really surprised? Are we? This is not a new issue. We have been hearing about immigration, immigration reform, immigration issues and immigration legislation for well over a decade. Why do you think that now it has escalated to a higher level? It's simple. The parents are fighting, so now is the best time. Our do-nothing congress couldn't find a roll of toilet paper in a pulp mill so now is the perfect time. Until or unless we get serious about our problems and issues, the world will continue to move on without us. This is a symptom, but it is not the problem. Do you really think people would just walk across the borders of some other country's. I am not making a statement here about whether or not immigration is a good or bad thing for our country. What I am trying to espouse is this: If our laws don't allow for foreign citizens to simply walk across our borders, and if we don't want to accept bus loads of children, who will burden our systems, (Immigration, health care, law enforcement and more) then we need to quit blaming each other and do something about it. Instead of making this about politics, sound bites, and 5th grade posturing, our congress and our president need to go to work and solve these types of issues. Put troops on the borders, this is an invasion and we need to start acting like it. I have no problem with people who want to live and thrive in our country. But we have laws and regulations which are in place for a reason, and they are not being followed. Let's tell our lawmakers to go to work! That's what we're paying them for.
